More specifically, Slack’s payment model makes it impossible to use for communities.
With Discord if you want premium stuff you pay for it at an individual level, and having the free tier doesn’t limit important functionality like message history.
With Slack your workspace’s cost is based on how many people are members in the workspace. You can’t have one member decide to buy a premium subscription and another one decide not to. You’re either all in on paying money for every user or you’re stuck on a gimped free version that hides message history and has other limitations.
